Brushworks Gentle Ceramic Foot File

Brushworks Gentle Ceramic Foot File is a ceramic foot file for the gentle end of foot care - the weekly tidy-up that keeps a heel smooth, rather than the heavy removal you reach for after a summer of sandals. A ceramic surface takes hard skin down a thin layer at a time, which is what lets you stop at smooth instead of going past it and leaving the heel sore. It is dual-sided, so the coarser surface takes the hard skin down and the finer one smooths what is left. Because it works gradually, it suits being used once or twice a week: a few passes over the rough patch after a shower, then cream while the skin is still warm. The surface wipes and rinses clean, so the file is not kept in a bathroom cupboard carrying last month's dust.

Benefits

• The ceramic surface takes hard skin down a thin layer at a time, so it is easier to stop while the heel is smooth rather than sore.
• Light passes let you work only the rough patch and leave the soft skin beside it alone.
• Two surfaces in one file: the coarser side takes the hard skin down and the finer side smooths the patch afterwards.

How to use

• Use on clean, dry or slightly damp feet, working over the rough area in short, light passes.
• Check the skin as you go instead of relying on pressure, and stop as soon as the patch feels even.
• Keep away from cracked, inflamed or broken skin, and never file a sore area.
• Rinse and dry the file after use, and follow with a foot cream while the skin is warm.
